About the Secure Password Generator
Generate strong, cryptographically secure passwords with customizable length and character options. Perfect for creating secure passwords for online accounts.
Why Use a Strong Password?
- Security: Strong passwords protect your accounts from brute-force attacks
- Privacy: Secure passwords prevent unauthorized access to your data
- Randomness: Cryptographically random passwords are unpredictable
- Customizable: Configure length and character types to meet requirements
Password Best Practices
- Use at least 16 characters for maximum security
- Include a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
- Never reuse passwords across different accounts
- Store passwords securely using a password manager
- Change passwords regularly, especially after security incidents

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Generated passwords are extremely secure when created using cryptographic random number
generators. Our tool creates passwords with high entropy (randomness) that would take
billions of years to crack using brute-force attacks. A 16-character password with mixed
character types has over 95 bits of entropy, making it virtually uncrackable with
current technology.
A strong password has: (1) At least 12-16 characters length, (2) Mix of uppercase and
lowercase letters, (3) Numbers and special characters, (4) No dictionary words or
personal information, (5) Completely random and unpredictable. The longer and more
random, the stronger the password.
Yes! Special characters significantly increase password strength by expanding the
character set. A password with letters, numbers, and symbols has 95 possible characters
per position instead of just 62 (letters + numbers). This exponentially increases the
time needed to crack the password. However, ensure the service you're using accepts
special characters.
Don't try to remember them! Use a password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or
LastPass to securely store all your passwords. Password managers encrypt your passwords
and only require you to remember one master password. This way, you can use unique,
complex passwords for every account without memorization.
Yes, if the generator runs client-side (in your browser) and doesn't send passwords to
any server. Our password generator creates passwords entirely in your browser using
JavaScript - no data is transmitted or stored. However, always verify the tool's privacy
policy and use HTTPS connections. For maximum security, you can also use offline
password generators.
Modern security guidance suggests changing passwords only when: (1) There's evidence of
a breach, (2) You suspect compromise, (3) You shared the password, or (4) The password
is weak. Frequent mandatory changes often lead to weaker passwords. Instead, focus on
using strong, unique passwords with 2FA enabled. If you use a password manager with
strong passwords, annual changes are sufficient.
